  • Riassunto

  • Some dads build a treehouse with their kid. We’re doing a history podcast. Welcome to Prime Factors where we review each UK Prime Minister from Robert Walpole to Rishi Sunak. We discuss their biography, highs and lows, and then rate them on a scale designed by a 10-year old before awarding the ultimate prize: Are they ”Known” or just an ”Ice Cream Cone”.

  • 2 - Spencer Compton

    2 - Spencer Compton
    May 18 2024

    From his humble birth in the Compton family castle, Spencer Compton rose to become a "dull, important Lord" in Parliament. Walpole out-maneuvered him in 1727 to steal the top job from him, but Spencer Compton, the Earl of Wilmington, would get his revenge and (eventually) become Prime Minister. Recorded on location at the Wilmington Memorial Library in Wilmington, Massachusetts.

    1.2 - Robert Walpole (Part 2)
    May 3 2024

    Our first rating! We discuss how Robert Walpole rose from the disaster of the South Sea Company bubble to control all the levers of power in Parliament, his near-loss to Spenser Compton after the death of George I, and his eventual decline and defeat thanks to a disagreement with Spain over a severed left ear. Recorded on location in Walpole, Massachusetts in the Stone Room at the Walpole Public Library.

    1.1 - Robert Walpole (Part 1)
    May 3 2024

    We have to start somewhere! Abram and I look at Robert Walpole from birth to 1721, the traditional start of his time as prime minister. We cover his early elections, his rise in the Whig party, his stint in the Tower of London for corruption, and how he rose in power to become the dominant force in British politics of his day. (Hint: It involved family connections and bribery.)
